    This is strange...I started a post the other day and saved it as "private", and it is not here!  I wonder what happened to it?  Lost in inter-space?

    What have I been doing instead of blogging?  Lots of cooking and baking--from scratch.  Pizza dough, bread, rolls, muffins, sauces...  I am basically planning my day around the kitchen.  And, now that I read about the mercury levels in ketchup and chocolate syrup (among other foods), I will either start making my own or buying organic.  It's getting CRAZY, isn't it?!

    If you want a little laugh, go read this link--and know that part of me loves this, while part of me rebels against it.   

    My friends and I gave a baby shower this past weekend~I love hostessing showers.  I have a hard time holding back--it is kind of like the holidays with me!  I will have several ideas of what I want to do, but when it comes down to it, I can only produce so much.  Frustrating.  So, I save these thoughts for "the next one"...  ;)

    Jumping back to the cooking marathon I have been on, I took the Grocery Cart Challenge, and am forcing myself to set a budget on food for the week.  I have never attempted this before--actually setting a *number*  that I will not go over...  I came in under budget this past week, and I will see how things go tomorrow for our second week. 

    Ah...this reads back so boring...hopefully I will find my rechargeable batteries for my camera--I like a post with pictures!  ;)

  • I almost always have a dollar amount that I can't go over. So what I get for sides and the meat portions of meals in one week all depends on what's on sale!

    I bet you throw a wonderful baby shower! I know that when you've sent me a package, just getting the package is an event. It's like a party in a box with wonderful things to look at and enjoy. That might have sounded silly but I seriously get a little giddy when you mail something. Because it's fun to get it! lol It makes me want to send better packages myself.

    The Pioneer Woman has a recipe for chocolate syrup homemade. It's pretty darn good. I've made it a few times at my house. I put more sugar in it than she does though. ;o)

  • @bethro78 - It doesn't sound silly to me--it makes me happy to make you giddy!!  ;)   I am going to go look at the Pioneer Woman's site for that recipe--my boys thank you (they miss their morning glass of cold chocolate milk)!
